Chang Yu entered the city from Zhenwu Gate in the southwest, and all the officers and soldiers withdrew into the city. The suspension bridge was lowered, leaving only Yang Zhenwei's men to patrol the city.
"You are so awesome, so awesome, so awesome!" Chang Yu was full of praise for Tu Yuan as soon as he entered the city!
Tu Yuan smiled stupidly, knowing that Chang Yu was praising him, but he didn't know why he used cow's genitals to praise him!
Chang Yu had a hole stabbed in his thigh by Gu Kecheng, and Fan Jiaqian was applying medicine to bandage it.
"Why did you risk going down to the ground to fight with that stupid big guy? It was too dangerous!" The wound was in severe pain, and Chang Yu, a member of the Zhenwu sect, was distracted by talking to Tu Yuan.
"The horse of the humble soldier was injured and his strength was exhausted. If he continued to fight, something might happen to him, so he had to take a risk. I pulled him off the horse and was expecting to kill him. However, he turned out to be very fierce. After a long struggle, his own soldiers arrived and killed him.
Two thieves seized the horse and mounted..."
Tu Yuanfeng said calmly, but everyone knew that it was dangerous. If he lost his horse in the melee, he would be killed by thieves or trampled to death by a random horse.
"You rescued me twice today. Our family will never forget this kindness. As long as there is a mouthful of food to eat in the future, you will not be hungry!" Chang Yu looked at Tu Yuan with a burning look. He cultivated this kind of person.
Well, Juebi is a fierce general, and he is from a low level and easy to control, so he must be firmly grasped in his hands.
It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times. Now is the most chaotic era, and it is also an era where heroes emerge in large numbers. However, it is also an era of great waves. No matter how awesome a hero is, without a good platform or a good backer, he may remain unknown or have difficulty getting ahead.
The platform is very important, especially at this time. Chang Yu believes that there are many capable people like Tu Yuan, but most of them may remain unknown all their lives and have difficulty in getting ahead. Apart from their encounters, the Ming Dynasty's
The system is also the main constraint.
The military in the Ming Dynasty was a hereditary system, which was similar to the succession system in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Your father died in the army and his eldest son took over. But he was just a soldier. It would be difficult to become an officer, because officers are also hereditary.
Looking at the late Ming Dynasty, almost all military generals were hereditary. There were very few who worked their way up from the rank of soldiers and were promoted through military exploits. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, one was as fierce as a tiger. He died in Nanyang in the early years, and now there is still one standing in Taiyuan.
The city guarding these four directions is Zhou Yuji.
No matter what the situation is in the future, Chang Yu has already planned his escape plan. To put it simply, he has two hands, one for money and the other for people.
There is no limit to the sources of money, deceit and abduction. On the one hand, he is establishing prestige in the army and showing favors, and on the other hand, he is cultivating his cronies. Tu Yuan has naturally fallen into his sight.
"In this humble position, I am willing to follow the factory's official saddle horse and back, and I will fight to the death!" After hearing Chang Yu's words, Tu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately prostrated.
Everyone's faces were full of enthusiasm and envy, even Fan Jiaqian and other personal followers. After all, Chang Yu's words were equivalent to treating Tu Yuan as a brother.
To be able to be called a brother to such a person would have an unlimited future. Tu Yuan was naturally overjoyed and others were naturally envious.
After the wound was bandaged, Chang Yu got up to go to the city. He staggered and almost fell down. The fierce battle was so intense that he actually felt a little weak!
"Sir, be careful." Tu Yuan stood beside him and held him up with one hand.
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Do you still have the strength?"
"Not bad." Tu Yuan chuckled.
Shit! It’s so annoying to have people compare to each other! From the beginning of the war, Tu Yuan has been on the frontline of the rescue, following Chang Yu into the battle and killing the thieves one by one.
At this time, Chang Yu was out of power, but he could lift himself up with one hand. It seemed that this guy was born with divine power.
As for my little eunuch's body, even though it has been forged for more than a month, it is still weak and needs to be forged more.
With Tu Yuan's help, Chang Yu got on his horse and went straight to the city. He wanted to ask Zhou Yuji why he suddenly ordered the gold to withdraw his troops.
Chang Yu had just reached the top of the city and looked south, only to see Zhou Yuji and others galloping towards the south of the city with their horses.
Zhou Yuji was originally stationed at the South Gate. Later, because Chang Yu led his army and the rebels were fighting in the southwest of the city, he hurriedly came to watch the battle. At this time, he didn't have time to meet Chang Yu but headed south. There was obviously an emergency.
occur.
Feeling a little uneasy in his heart, Chang Yu rode in pursuit. As soon as he reached the southwest corner of the city, he looked up to the south and frowned. The thing he was most worried about came...
The bandit camp in the south became restless. Li Guo returned with a dark face and saw Li Zicheng looking very unkind: "Father..."
"useless"
Li Zicheng growled coldly.
The three tiger generals went to capture Chang Yu but returned in vain. Among them, Ma Shiyao was seriously injured after being thrown down. The rest of them almost fell into a tight siege. If it weren't for the support of Gu Ke and the adult horses, they almost couldn't steal the chicken and lose the rice.
This sneak attack was extremely embarrassing!
"My lord, that eunuch is extremely treacherous and good at setting traps. We cannot rule out that his appearance this time was intentional and a counter-entrapment strategy. You have tried your best in this battle, but it is not God's will. Moreover, this battle will not affect the overall situation. It will break the
When we enter the city, the eunuch still cannot escape death!"
Niu Jinxing stepped out in time to rescue Li Guo, but what he said convinced everyone. They felt that Chang Yu's coming out of the city was a bait. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the tacit understanding between him and Zhou Yuji, and how could such a serious general act when the enemy was approaching the city.
Sometimes, I even go out for a walk.
Li Zicheng was silent for a while after hearing this, and then looked up at the trench position in the distance, where more than two thousand refugees were slowly marching towards there driven by Gu Ying's troops.
It was just an appetizer before, now it’s the main course!
"Is that why you ordered the withdrawal of troops?"
On the top of the South Gate city, Chang Yu came in a hurry. Zhou Yuji, Cai Maode and other civil and military officials turned around and saw that he was covered in blood, and they all changed their colors.
"You're injured!" Chang Yu's legs were covered in blood when Zhou Yuji met him, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"It's okay," Chang Yu said calmly, looking southward: "Are the bandits going to launch a large-scale attack with this move?"
Huh, Zhou Yuji sneered: "They are just pioneers. If the trenches are not level, how can the army come over? It's just that the intruders are so shameless and use such cruel methods, but they always give me a splitting headache and nothing to do."
"How shameless!" Everyone in the city responded.
The rebels were driving away the refugees, and they were all holding tools. They knew they were trying to level the trenches to clear the way for the army.
"Our family never thought that those trenches could stop the intruder, but every time he takes a step forward, I will make him pay a corresponding price." Chang Yu sneered, murderous intent gradually grew, and everyone around him couldn't help but
From the side, I shuddered secretly. It is true that this young man has worked so hard to dig a hole. How can you just level it if you want to?
With a look, Zhou Yuji understood, and immediately ordered Yang Zhenwei from the city to send troops across the river to stop the refugees.
Chang Yu, Zhou Yuji and others had already conducted various deductions on how the bandit army attacked Taiyuan and how the officers and soldiers used fortifications to defend themselves. Although there was no good way to deal with this method of using refugees to clear the way, it was within the expectations of Chang Yu and others.
, at this time you just need to deal with it as previously planned.
Under the city, Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin immediately sent troops across the river after receiving the order. Five thousand infantrymen rushed to the trench position, holding bows and arrows, waiting for the arrival of the rebels.
"If you had withdrawn your troops after half a cup of tea, we might have killed Li Guo, or even captured one alive." Chang Yu said with a little regret as he looked at the formation of the officers and soldiers below the city.
"Has Li Guo the thief before?" Zhou Yuji and others were shocked!
"Not only Li Guo, Hao Yaoqi, Ma Shiyao, and Gu Kecheng, they are all the thieves. Catching one of them is a great achievement." Chang Yu shook his head and looked regretful.
Ah, everyone exclaimed and looked at each other in shock. Chang Yu was fighting fiercely with the rebels below the city. They witnessed it with their own eyes on the city, but they couldn't see each other's faces clearly. They were still wondering if they could fight Chang Yu to such an extent.
They are tough, but they don’t know that they are all legendary figures in the bandit army.
It was indeed a pity, and Zhou Yuji also felt sorry for it, but the reason why he withdrew his troops was not only to find that there was a movement in the rebel camp, but also to mobilize a large number of refugees there. It was obviously a big move. Secondly, Chang Yu was fighting fiercely with the rebel army under the city, and there were dangers everywhere. When he saw Chang Yu fell from his horse,
, his heart was in his throat.
The fortifications can be destroyed, Chang Yu must not make any mistakes!
Later, although Chang Yu became more and more courageous in fighting, he could not fight for a long time and the rebel army did not show defeat. It had become a stalemate, which Zhou Yuji did not want to see.
At this time, the thief army was outside the city. The advantage of the officers and soldiers was to rely on the city fortifications to fight defensive battles. Chang Yu went out of the city to sharpen his sword. This kind of small fight was fine, but he was entangled by the thief army, and then both sides sent reinforcements to fight the battle group.
As it rolls bigger and bigger, it loses its defensive advantage and becomes a direct attack, which is not what the thieves want.
Seeing that Chang Yu's side was in a stalemate, he was worried that the rebel army would send reinforcements and the battle group would become larger. In that case, the rhythm would be taken away by the intruders. In addition, there was a change in the rebel army's camp. He immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and let Chang Yu
Return to the city.
After listening to Zhou Yuji's explanation, Chang Yu deeply agreed. Sure enough, Jiang was very experienced and had considered everything. He fought for the city and made the rebels pay a heavy price for every step they took. If he sent them out to fight, wouldn't he be giving the enemy an advantage and playing into their favour?
Desire.
But this time it was a complete accident. I originally just wanted to go out and kill the traitor Jingqi, but I didn't expect to be targeted by someone, join such a large battle group, and almost die because of it.
"Here, let me introduce you," Chang Yu said, pulling Tu Yuan behind him: "Tu Yuan from Tengxiang Guards, with such fierce competition, our family had to be rescued by him twice, otherwise we would have been in trouble!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw that Tu Yuan was covered in blood and what Chang Yu said. They had seen a man following Chang Yu on the city, killing everyone in all directions. He was so brave and invincible that they thought it was him who was following Fan Jiaqian and others, but unexpectedly
He is an unknown Tengxiang Guard soldier.
"A true warrior," Zhou Yuji said in admiration. He himself was also a soldier and was promoted due to his military exploits. Therefore, he has deep feelings for ordinary soldiers and knows how difficult it is for a soldier to stand out.
But it is obvious that Tu Yuan will rise to prominence in the future. Chang Yu’s introduction at this time is obviously meant to support him. However, although he has a life-saving grace for Chang Yu, in terms of military achievements, he is still zero, and it is impossible to directly promote him.
, Furthermore, there is a very cumbersome and complicated process for promoting ordinary soldiers, which requires level-by-level approval.
Even if an ordinary soldier has great achievements in battle, his report will be divided east and west and there will be very little left, and even if no one has the money to manage it, he will not be approved. But recommended by Chang Yu and a big shot like Zhou Yuji, that's all.
It’s about words!
but!
The personal guards are not under the control of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. They are the emperor's personal guards. There is another set of procedures that are inconsistent with the local troops. Even a big boss like Zhou Yuji can't get in the middle of the conversation. After all, it will work in the end.
Still Chang Yu.
Chang Yu is now a popular fried chicken in front of the emperor and the backbone of Taiyuan. Others dare not neglect the people he admires. Moreover, Tu Yuan himself is very capable and rescued Chang Yu twice. Everyone stepped forward to say some words of encouragement to him.
if.
Tu Yuanyi, a warrior and a low-level soldier, was suddenly surrounded by the big guys at this time. He was immediately flattered and frightened. His face was panicked and he was at a loss to deal with it. However, his expression was extremely excited. He always glanced at Chang Yu secretly, unable to hide his excitement.
